OpenAI is implementing a rare company-wide shutdown next week to give employees time to recharge after months of grueling 80-hour workweeks, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter as reported by Wired. The temporary closure comes as the ChatGPT maker fights to retain top talent amid Meta’s aggressive $100 million recruitment offers.
The shutdown is an uncommon move for the ChatGPT-maker, which has maintained what sources call intense operational schedules, with employees working 80 hours a week, as the AI giant races to develop artificial general intelligence. Only executives will continue working during the break, sources confirmed to Wired.
